I've made a list of things that meant a lot to me, put 'em on my pillow for the morning after

Mother, don't you cry, yes, I'll know you tried

Just remember all the love and laughter we felt

Voices carry through my mind, they're telling me it's time

So long, so long, so long

This decision has been given, despite the rights that we have wronged

Embrace the moments or we'll miss them

That's the warning for this morning, son

A shadow of a man, staring back at me, said, "Son, you're headed for a huge disaster"

No need to learn the truth, if you're gonna burn the proof

And no bandage heals the damage to my character

Voices carry down now, they're giving me a sign

Hold on, hold on, hold on

This decision has been given, despite the rights that we have wronged

Embrace the moments or we'll miss them

That's the warning for this morning, son

This decision has been given, despite the rights that we have wronged

Embrace the moments or we'll miss them

That's the warning for this morning

And that's the warning for this morning, son, son
